Hello, my name is Hu Tao and it's a pleasure to meet you all! I'm afraid that I'm still new to this place but I thought I could start by making some new friends here!

Please to enlighten me about your world. I'm curious as to where you are from!

If you don't wish to, then I shall ask a question! What ice cream flavor sums up your personality today?

There is no easy way to answer your first request, so I must defer to your second. Vanilla. [ to the surprise of absolutely nobody ]

[localweirdo]

Vanilla? Any reason why?

[Not to mention, why so boring???]

[skysilverknight]

[ listen boring can be good!! sometimes!! ]

well, this is the first thing i've done today, so i'm not particularly feeling one way or the other, but the potential is there. much like how vanilla is terribly plain, but one has the option to dress it up with different toppings to create something more exciting.

so, vanilla.

[localweirdo]

While you might be right that vanilla allow for the option to make things fancier, it still seems boring! It could be applied to any other flavor such as strawberry or even chocolate! .

[skysilverknight]

If that is your interpretation of it, then I suppose I am a boring individual. I am only a mere knight, after all.

Hu Tao? How long have you been here?

There should be no need to say where I am from when it should be inherently obvious.

As to that other question. How does an ice cream flavor sum up someone's personality today?

[localweirdo]

[As Hu Tao stared at the username, she raised an eyebrow as to who it might be. Although, once she did?]

Xiao, is that you? I wasn't aware you were here as well! I've been here for a couple of days but it's good to see you!

[For better and for worse!]

But you'll be surprised! Depending on your mood, your preferences can change. I was curious to see if people were feeling optimistic today.

[baneofallevil]

Yeah. It is.

I can say the same of you as well. How are you adjusting to things in Nippon?

[ He legitimately liked Hu Tao as an individual so it was sort of nice to see another familiar face here. ]

What flavor would indicate optimism? I am unfamiliar with ice cream and their flavor meanings.

[localweirdo]

It is quite different! However, it is quite similar to Liyue in many aspects so I cannot complain.

I'd say anything that gives a really sweet flavor! Or perhaps anything with a strong flavor. Although, I suppose it means I need to take you out for ice cream.

[baneofallevil]

I agree. That has made living here somewhat more bearable. However, if you have any problems please do not hesitate to call on me and I will assist you if I am able.

I see. I would not be opposed to that whenever it is you have a moment free.

M from what is basically future Nippon. Still horny but less obvious about it.

Why ice cream

[localweirdo]

Oh? Care to explain?

And why not? People like ice cream so it's only fitting that I ask!

[fridrich]

The cities and geography are all more or less the same but the tech in my world is more advanced. Developed. This place feels more natural. If that makes sense.

But OK guess that's fair. Strawberry then

[localweirdo]

How so? Please do tell me because it's not nice to not explain!

Any reason why you choose it?

[fridrich]

I'm being plenty nice! A lot of the stuff here is steam powered by burning shit, yeah? We've learned how to use electricity instead.

Strawberry's not everyone's top choice but the folks who like it seem to reeeaally like it.

the ruinwood is a part of a bigger world, but it is my world. i don't like to leave it.

i also have not tried much ice cream, but i enjoy mint chocolate chip!

[localweirdo]

Ruinwood? Are you referring to your city?

Any reason why you choose mint chocolate chip?

[faeshim]

not a city, but a forest. there is a city outside of it though.

i like mint tea. and lennon likes peppermint hot chocolate.

i've heard people complain that it tastes like toothpaste, but i like toothpaste as well!

[localweirdo]

Then mind if I ask what the forest is like? It certainly must be a magical for a fae to live there!

But if you like a lot of mint, then I would assume you are feeling rather contemplative at the moment.

[faeshim]

it is old, and it used to be quite lonely and scary. but it's changed over time. now it is a place filled with life and flowers!

how so?

[ Cloud's...drawing a blank on how certain ice cream flavors can relate to different personalities. Boy doesn't have enough ice cream. So. ]

I'm from a planet called Gaia. [ Send. ... Wait- ] Not this one.

[ Since he doesn't know what Hu Tao's used to...guess he'll just compare to Nippon? ]

Magic where I'm from is a little different. We use it through crystalized power from the Planet.

[ he attaches a picture! ...that is completely in sepia when it's supposed to be a deep blue he keeps forgetting why ]

[localweirdo]

[Don't worry, it's just Hu Tao being weird.]

How interesting! It does make sense that one would get their power from the planet as it helps to take care of everyone!

Please do enlighten me, what kind of magic do you do?

[sultanofsquat]

[ Helping to take care of everyone… Knowing what Shinra’s Mako Reactors are doing, Cloud’s just going to keep a lid on that for now. A whole other conversation entirely.

Giving a tutorial Talking about Materia and how it works though?! Now that he’ll give a rundown on. ]

The crystals we use for magic are called Materia. I can do a lot; just depends on what kind of Materia I’m packing. I can cast elements like lightning or fire, heal wounds, stop someone with time magic, use special Materia for summoning creatures to fight with you, list goes on.

[ If you could see him now, he’d have his arms crossed in an “uh huh. i can do that” pose. ]

[localweirdo]

[Alas, if she only knew! But the more she read the text, the more she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.]

That doesn't sound too different from my world! We have something called a vision and it grants people the ability to use fire, wind, and earth! Although, your abilities varies greater than what my world can do.

To think, you can stop time! Just think of the possibilities! I want to learn how to do that too!

[For better and for worse!]

[sultanofsquat]

Oh you're from Teyvat, too. I've seen Geo, Anemo, Cryo, Hydro...

[ He really should have asked Ayaka or Itto how many elements there are. Or just meet more Genshins. That works, too. ]

You can. Materia ain't limited to one user like Visions.
